Кодек для работы с видео. XviD отличается быстрой скоростью работы и вполне приемлемым качеством полученной видеокартинки. Настраиваться кодек XviD может как через сторонние программы (если это предусмотрено в данных программах), так и через собственное окно настроек. Кодек XviD разрабатывается на основе свободно-распространяемого исходного кода (Open-source) и относится к кодекам типа MPEG-4.

Changes since 1.1.2:
xvidcore library
Fixed a potential vulnerability in mbcoding.c reported by Trixter Jack at Secunia

Changes since 1.1.1:
xvidcore library
Fixed typo in xvid.c
Updated bitstream.h to fix the previous faulty non-aligned bitstream buffers fix


Features

Since being founded in 2001, the Xvid project focuses on MPEG-4 video compression. Early Xvid versions (0.9.x) implemented MPEG-4 simple profile (SP) de- and encoding. The Xvid 1.0 source tree introduced MPEG-4 advanced simple profile (ASP) compression including all advanced coding tools like B-frames, quarterpixel motion compensation and GMC. The upcoming development branch Xvid 2.0 adds support for MPEG-4 advanced video coding (AVC) de- and encoding up to High Profile and dramatically advances upon the compression performance of earlier Xvid versions.

The most outstanding feature of Xvid is the excellent picture quality it provides even at high compression ratios. A major emphasis of the project is put on research to achieve highest possible picture quality and novel algorithms have been developed that enable outstanding detail-richness and image fidelity. The Xvid codec is especially optimized towards offline, multi-pass compression for storage and archival purposes and has been found to deliver superior quality over any other MPEG-4 part 2 based codec by independent third parties.

Xvid is primarily developed for PC (Linux, Windows) but also other popular platforms are supported such as Mac/iMac. Due to extensive algorithmic optimizations and specific support for latest PC processor extensions like SSE2/SSE3 SIMD instruction sets or dual-core/hyperthreading technology, Xvid provides highest performance video de- and encoding on modern PCs. The Xvid ASP and AVC de- and encoder provide highest performance on PC and enable HD resolution video processing on today's hardware. Hence, the Xvid codec library is frequently used in GPLed software players or encoder applications on Windows and Linux such as MPlayer or Transcode.
